Have you been since? What do you make of the Glasto experience in comparison to other festivals? Done loads of festivals but nothing ever compares on the scale, atmosphere, and variety on offer.Originally posted by Ed View PostComment

I've never been to Glastonbury which is a bit odd given how much live music I've gone to over the years. It's never held a massive appeal for me other than around that period when my mates went a couple of years in a row.Originally posted by Opr View Post
The scale of it is what puts me off as my festival experience revolves around getting to see as many acts as possible. Glasto sounds too big to comfortably manage it. I'll bang on about how good primavera is for that til the cows come home.
Reading 2000 was my consolation prize for not making it to Glastonbury, that was a hell of a festivalComment

Five K
Warmed up, ready, in a skin soaked singlet, dripping with June morning rain.
Push the button on the mat and bounce with hope and bluster.
Striding the centre of the road, a camber either side.
Splashing summer puddle water cooling on my calf.
Reeling in and reeling out, confidence and casting doubt.
Bluster broken a mile inside, the distance is in charge.
Rain sheltered scattered applause as the turn is met,
headed now for home.
Eyes not meeting those behind, all focusing on the pain.
The last mile and the hope lifts, the pain dulls and
the brain shifts, into what ifs, into calculations, into permutations, into the last stretch, into the final few, the gantry view, the best is on if I can only push, if I can only squeeze, if I can only get there.
The clock turns, while my heart burns.
If I can only get there.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for thatComment

I want something a bit more heroic of a Monday morning
maybe repurpose Horatius on the bridge to something topical
Alone stood brave Hectorius,
But constant still in mind,
— Thrice 250 metres road before,
And the broad Liffey behind.
“Down with him!” cried false Solksjaer,
With a smile on his pale face;
“Now yield thee,” cried Lazare Porsena,
“Now yield thee to our grace!”

Took a stroll into town on Saturday afternoon to have a look at the new Toons Bridge shop on George's St. It's a good set up and while not cheap, it's probably about what you expect to pay for that kind of produce. Picked up a few cheeses, some meats and some pesto which were mostly consumed Saturday night with the remained polished off on Sunday. They had run out of bread so I popped around to La Maison who are selling freshly made bread - Hard to go wrong with €1.50 for a baguette and €3.50 for a sourdough. We also picked up an ice cream in three twenty on Drury St and stopped to eat it.
It seems that Drury St, South William, Exchequer St, & Wicklow St, Castle Market, Coppinger Row, Clarendon St, Chatham Row and Chatham St have become one large outdoor walking pub with a few bars selling take-away pints and cocktails that then must be drank at least 100m away from the premises. This was leading to a few crowds building up and Gardai from the Public Order Group were going around telling them they had to move on. They weren't saying they couldn't drink on the street, just that they had to move on. This led to people just walking around drinking pints which was a bit bizarre. We saw one couple three times walking around drinking the same drink.
Each to their own and all but I just don't see the point to this, especially as with nowhere open to use the toilet, this will surely become an issue sooner or later?

Up to yourself. He’s a guy who loves sharing his knowledge so if you pitch yourself right (as a young up and comer and potentially long term client) and he has a bit of time he’s very well placed to give you a lot of very valuable advice about using residency and jurisdictions to your advantage. He actually struggles to connect with really wealthy folk IMO as he’s a bit of a policy wonk and really rich people aren’t in to the details they just want their shit sorted.Originally posted by Emmet View Post
As an aside It’s a very rare combination of adviser who can connect with clients and be on top of the real nitty gritty details. Often makes me smile because the person who can connect with clients will be 3-4 times more successful then the technically “better” adviser.
That’s life I guess. I was watching a networking seminar last week and the presenter was espousing a PIE philosophy. P = performance and was only 10% of your career success in his view. I = Image, as in how good we are perceived to be at the job and was 30% of career success and E = exposure, which was how much recognition we got for being good at our jobs and was 60% of career success.
The numbers are high and most won’t agree but they make some sort of sense to me when I look at folk who have highly successful careers. Anyway it gave me a bit of boost to continue my various sustainable self promotion efforts.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis KhanComment

Staring to get somewhere with my whole allergies issue. I was seen by the Oncology centre in March or April and they said they were going to do all the tests to see if I had Mastocytosis or not. Due to it being a condition that is detected when the mast cells are activated, it is very difficult to catch. Another option is the bone marrow test which I was scared of.
They did so many tests here and they did a few that were being sent abroad. I got a call from the Dr on the 15th of June to tell me they had the results. She starts the conversation telling me that the tests they did were all fine and I was deflated as I was hoping for an answer to my horrific reactions. Then she tells me that one of the tests they sent abroad has come back showing that I have a problem somewhere as the level in this test was very high (IGE) and I was going to be seen by the specialist.
I have been told it is an auto-immune condition, but they don't know exactly what. They said the test result basically backed up my history of severe reactions and anaphylaxis.
I have also been told that it is most possibly the reason why I still have a damaged hip 3½ years after my ballet accident and why my tennis elbow just isn't shifting. My body is just overreacting (typical wimmin eh Willie? )
Hopefully, I will have answers soon, they still can't confirm or deny the mastocytosis as the Tryptase test was negative, the protein(??) is only in the blood for about 48hrs after having a reaction and I haven't had one in a while. But they said no bone marrow test for now.
We are all getting old guys and falling to bits!
